A Twist in the Road - Welcome Maddox!

Written by a CP Intakes Coordinator

The name Maddox means little fortunate one. When Maddox's human family grew, they had less time for him and felt he deserved better and sought a rescue for Maddox. Impatience set in while waiting on the rescue approval, and the family took another road. Suddenly this sweet, mellow cairn found himself in a shelter. The shelter happened to post his picture and story on their website. Ever diligent, one of our own rescue searchers spotted his listing and submitted it for review per normal procedure. Days had gone by since Maddox was taken to the shelter, but he was still safe.

Shelter personnel, when contacted by Intakes, were concerned about his well being as he was not getting the quality diet needed to keep his allergies at bay. In the best interest of Maddox, the shelter asked Col. Potter to help. Soon Maddox was packing his bags to come to the safety of Col. Potter. The twist in the road brought Maddox back from the verge of disaster. Even though Maddox had experienced ten days of shelter life, he remained a mellow fellow and sweet as can be. Right now Maddox is enjoying a safe, clean & warm hotel stay at a vet clinic, mandatory after being in a shelter environment. Sociable, very sweet and friendly are some of the comments already heard about our new CP boy, Maddox.

Maddox is a handsome wheaten with distinctive ears, 6 1/2 years old, obedience trained, housebroken, neutered, and ADORABLE, even if he is in need of a little weight loss program. A huge thank you to Mary S.-R. for spotting him on her search duty, Denise G. for posting him, and Mary Ellen L. for making the long trip to bring Maddox to safety. Please welcome Maddox!!
